Scholar Athletes, Traffic Safety & Fireworks

Tonight, we honor the All-Time Scholar Athlete Awards Winners prior to the game, with the help of the Governors Traffic Safety Committee in a pre-game ceremony. The Governors Traffic Safety Committee does a fantastic job coordinating the local police departments to represent their communities at “The Joe” for one night each season.

To see the patrol vehicles line the warning track as the Big Flag is presented on-field with fireworks going off for the National Anthem will give anyone goosebumps.

Governors Traffic Safety Night, Aug. 13, 2008

If you know of any Scholar Athlete Award Winners who may not be aware of the event, please tell them we’d still love to have them attend tonight’s festivities. We will be selling walk-up tickets to the pre-game picnic at the Sports Foundation table adjacent to the ticket office from 5:30-6pm.
